The filmmakers behind the upcoming movie called Pistolero discuss the concept behind the film and
announce the launch of their crowdfunding campaign.
United States – Nov. 9th 2015 : In August of next year, a highly talented film crew will begin shooting the
much-anticipated film entitled “Pistolero.” The film will be directed by Ezequiel Martinez, an
up-and-coming Hollywood director who has directed several other films including “On a Dark and
Stormy Night” and “Spyware.” Alongside Ezequiel, there will be many talented and accomplished
individuals within the film industry taking a part in Pistolero. This includes the noted cinematographer
Byron Werner, the producer Kico Velarde, and writer Lee Brandt. The film is expected to begin
shooting this upcoming August at the Greenspot Farms in Mentone, California, near the San
Bernardino Forest.
“ The concept behind Pistolero was created when I answered a question that no
one has ever thought of. ” said the director Ezequiel Martinez. “ What would
happen if you took the Mexico of the past, present, and future, and then rolled
it together with a world of Tim Burton fantasy and Clint Eastwood westerns, to
create a hurricane of gunfighters? Pistolero is a story that brings those who are
wanted dead, to life as they participate in the greatest gunfight the world has The movie Pistolero revolves around a revenge plot between cowboys, ghosts, pirates, and the elusive
Dorian Grey. The film is expected to have several high-quality action scenes, including a 15-minute
gunfight that was already optioned by a large film production company. For $45,000 the makers of
Pistolero can shoot this piece of the movie and then have it re-optioned with Ezequiel Martinez as the
director. In order to offset some of the costs associated with creating Pistolero, the filmmakers have
created an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign which was launched earlier this week and will expire
within the next two months. The crew hopes to achieve their $45,000 goal in order to bring the story
of Pistolero to life. There are several “perks” that will be provided to contributors such as digital
downloads of the movie’s theme song, an entry to a draw, merchandise, and the opportunity to be
apart of the film. More information about the Pistolero crowdfunding campaign can be accessed

So here you are, you have worked hard, spent a ton of money in schooling, advertisement, and probably a number of other things. This can be nerve racking, or frustrating. Why? Because you may not be doing what you came out to Hollywood to do.

You may be doing extra work (background) or PA work.

On the bigger sets, it is harder to get more than that.

On a low budget set, it is much easier to get selected to a specific department and move up the ranks in that department faster. If you have connections, you could do it on the big budgets faster. This business is mostly about who you know and how well you get along. Skill can be taught, but unlike other industries it is mostly taught by watching people do it and doing it yourself. The more you work, the more you learn.

But what happens on a movie set?

Each set can be different, some can be organized better than others.

The first thing to look at is the call sheet. It has a wealth of information like the time and the location of the set. It also says how many scenes and pages of the set you will be doing for that day. More on that in the article on call sheets.

The next thing to look at is who your immediate boss is. Understanding the workings of the set take time and each can be a bit different depending on the players of the game. For instance, if the producer has more credits than the director, he may have the final say. But if the director is producing the show, then he is the boss. Do your best to observe and listen and don’t get caught in cross fires.

The next thing to do is listen if someone tells you to do something. Clear it with your boss if it is outside your department and do it if your boss tells you to. But if he says do it a certain way, then do it that way. Don’t get into arguments about how to do things. The key at this stage is doing more and less arguments.

The next step and you will hear me say this many times is “go above and beyond expected.” Get very good at what you do. Show up early and stay late. In the beginning, the first day you are a beginner with no credits. I don’t care how much you paid for a degree and neither does the rest of the industry. You start where everyone else does unless you have connections. So be prepared to work.

And one of the most important things is to have fun and enjoy what you do. Don’t complain. It infects the set and only makes things worse.

Don’t expect any movie set to be like any other movie set or the way you were taught in school.
